Photo seems squeezed

Yeah, also looks like a thicker spine and a more raked vertical stabilizer similar to the 2-seater, but all of that could be a visual trick due to image distortion.

I think it’s going to have a thicker spine I don’t see much picture distortion.

Pardon my naivety but IFR?
The photo is disproportionate but even relative to the distortion the spine looks weirdly too thick.
P.s. Why do u I have a feeling it would be you breaking the breaking :p

So many things wrong. Photo does look squeezed but people look normal. Also note the spine.
No I change my mind,the photo looks original.

I guess after Feb 27th JF decided to show its growing dong. Lol.

On the current single seat JF-17, the spine lines up with the top & back of the canopy. Would a thicker spine then suggest that the pilot is sitting slightly higher, which in turn might suggest a slightly larger diameter nose-cone?

Alternately, perhaps the spline slopes down to meet the back of the canopy in its current location.

A few months ago clarified that it will have a thicker spine and it will house wirings.

From looks of it I don’t believe it’ll slope down to meet the canopy but rather connect and slope down towards the tail of the plane. I do believe the pilot might be sitting higher and the cone for sure looks bigger.

Also have a feeling the spine not only is thick but wider as well.

I wonder though would the spine carry extra fuel or some EW suites and sensors for the plane.

This is completely different than B version we have seen or is it my eyes?

Tooo much different.

Tooo much different.

Lets wait and see brother, squeezing is to much, that's why air intakes and spine looks wider and weirder

No the pic looks unedited.
Notice the shape of intakes. The intakes on the previous ones are more round.

Just thought to share if it may help anybody in getting a better idea.

can you post JF-17B unsqueezed (regular) pics with almost same angles for comparisons
